  • Add to this large mixing bowl the remaining dry ingredients and mix well with wooden a spoon.
  • Mash the sweet potato. Add all the wet ingredients including the mashed sweet potato to the dry ingredients and mix it well with a spoon or a whisker until it looks smooth. Let it sit at least for 15 minutes.
  • If the batter is too thick then add 1-2 Tbsp of rice milk and mix again.
  • Preheat the waffle maker and grease it with coconut oil.
  • Bake the waffles until golden brown.

SWEET CASHEW CREAM

  • Place the soaked and drained cashew nuts in a high speed blender and add all the other ingredients (except the roasted pecan nuts). Blend it for 1 to 2 minutes until you have a smooth cream. Sometimes you have to stop the mixer, scratch down the sides and continue. If the cream is too thick you can add a little bit of water (start with 1 tbsp at a time).
  • Garnish your delicious waffles with it and top with some roasted pecan nuts !
